Hi, I'm a British woman living in Bogota, Colombia for the past 9 years. I learned Spanish by ear and earned my living teaching English (until now that is)In one of my classes someone once told me, "your English is so clear, I can't believe I can understand you!" that lead to doing some recording for English course CDs. Track 1... page 12... I realized I liked it and was good at it. A few other jobs came in for corporate videos for companies like Unilever. Good extra pocket money. Then I went back to the real world. Last year I got a call. I need a favour.. there's this trailer for an animation and we need a voiceover in English. Colombia doesn't have many native English speakers who can actually do this job well. SO I did my best. It was a hit, then other jobs started coming in. Bavaria (Colombia's 1 brewery) and UNE (telecommunications)for DBB ad agency and so with my amazing friend Manuel (owner of Tank Studio in Bogota) we made the demo I hope you are now familiar with.I have since quit teaching and began a full time job as a copywriter for Niwali health products online marketplace. Finally, my real career has begun and I hope you can be added to this list of experience. Small as it is, let's make it longer.
